He photographed nude little girls, so his being a pedo is very likely. "Innocence" has been a prevalent theme in art and it's often symbolised by naked people and children, but still I'd say the chances are more than 50%.
You're viewing the past from the lens of the present. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary at the time.

Maybe not, but pedophiles existed all the same and shared the desire to see naked children. In fact, if what he did had been considered abnormal, the ones who kept on doing suspicious stuff probably had nothing to hide. The real pedos would've kept their proclivities to themselves.

People are still arguing about this?

The truth of the matter is that it was a VERY long time ago and the only people who really know what happened have been dead for longer than any of us have been alive.
But fun fact. Alice Liddell associated herself with the Carroll her entire life and even kept the manuscript that Carroll have given her, only parting with it when she needed funds to live. It was long rumoured that one of her sons was named after Carroll, but Alice denied it. All in all not the actions of a woman having survived the hands of some kind of monster eh?

But anyway the game is good, play it because we are never getting sequel by the looks of it.

He photographed the elder 14 year old sister nude, which was definitely considered out of the ordinary at the time.

Where do you think the pedos get their wank material? From men like Carrol who may never lay a finger on the children if they're smart about it.

Only because having a camera at that time was out of the ordinary. The Victorian Era was really weird. Michael Crichton covers how bizarre the Victorian Era's sensibilities on sexual things were compared to modern times in his book, The Great Train Robbery. For example, it was believed the only way to cure a sexually transmitted disease was to have sex with a virgin, and that generally meant finding someone younger than 14.

After reading up about the game's plot it's a marvel this game is still being sold at all, instead of having been banned. It has that whole organised child grooming theme right at its core, with rather explicit innuendos about it.

That's sadly not uncommon.

A major driver of the spread of AIDS in Africa is due to that idea.
